Absolutely Awesome!

I just got back from a Ride & Drive from Honda Canada for the new upcoming Fit. And it was awesome. Totally blew me away...awesome handling...styling is ok...horsepower feels overstated but, all in all, a fun drive...bottom line, I'd get one. But, not the one I killed today LOL. I've still got a giant smile on my face...haha.

The 2007 Honda Fit is set to hit the dealerships on April 3rd. So watch out for it. You'll want to see it and better yet, you'll want to drive it.

Cheers,
Buddah.

I saw them at the Autoshow and to be honest, I wasn't to impressed with the looks. Even with the nice OEM wheels and body kit, it looked odd. The specs are great, but I don't know about the looks. I think the Nissan Versa was better looking.

I was seriously considering one because it was incredibly comfortable to sit in. The backseats with all their craziness seemed really useful. The gas mileage was right. It just seemed like my kinda car.

i saw the type R version in japan more than a year and a half ago. fun little car. i'd definitely consider one. actually, i just might trade in my sir for one. mugen makes a ton of parts for it as well including a dual exhaust.

i was at the ride and drive too and i really liked the magic seats

also the car was a lot better than the other cars they had there in the same price range

starts at under $15,000 last time i heard and the sport version has steering wheel shift controls. the stick one is really fun too

I wasn't too impressed with the looks when I saw it at the Auto Show. Also, starting at 15K is not all that cheap considering that the Civic Starts at 16K and change.

FIT is a great car according to SPOON's president.

The chassis is suppose to be very rigid and light.


Great car for daily driving, and a bit of tuning here and there (k20a )

Excellent sleeper material...
